    Life after a leak...

    Omg!!! I have had the gastric sleeve journey from hell. Your posts give me some comfort that i am not the only one. I had the sleeve done in may 2013. The dr. Said there was a leak and did surgery again the next day. I was in the hospital 8 days. I was sick with nausea and vomiting all summer. I had an endoscopy in july and all looked good. By august 29 i was admitted to the hospital with severe anemia, pneumonia, and a bladder infection. I had an upper gi and they told me i had a leak that had been leaking into my lung since may. I have had lung surgery where they said my lung will never be the same. I had stents in my esophagus and stomach for over a month being only on clear liquids during that time. I have had chest tubes, jp drain, 7 units of blood, and several hospital stays. The leak has finally closed but i still have severe nausea and vomiting. I have lost about 100 pounds since may 24 but not the way i would have liked to lose it. Does anyone else still have nausea and vomiting 5 months after surgery? I am still recovering from all this. I am extremely weak.
